CVE-2026-116205: YesWiki server-side request forgery in page render handler

CVE-2026-116205 · Severity: medium · CVSS 5.3 · Published 2026-10-25

YesWiki is a collaborative wiki platform that allows users to create and edit web pages. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit a flaw in the page rendering feature to force the server to make HTTP requests to internal systems and services that should not be accessible from the internet, then read the responses back. This could expose sensitive data from internal databases, configuration systems, or other services running behind the organization's firewall.

Technical details

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated server-side request forgery (SSRF) in the page render handler that processes the [[|URL]] wiki syntax without validating the target URL. The flaw exists in formatters/wakka.php and raw.php, which use PHP's file() function to fetch and echo back arbitrary URLs when a user supplies [[|URL]] syntax in the content parameter. The vulnerability is reachable both pre-authentication via the /render handler and post-authentication through stored wiki content, with no ACL checks protecting the render gateway.
